Here on Earth

Cold and wet and exhilarating
    Dew christens bare toes - blades between
Chipped red polish - beaded moisture
   Gripping the earth - grounding the soul

"Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue? Need we coax the sun to rise or flowers to bloom? Need we teach birds to sing, or children to laugh, or lovers to kiss? No, though we think the world imperfect, it surrounds us each day with its perfections. We are asked only to appreciate them, and to show appreciation by living in peaceful harmony amidst them. The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world; He asks that we celebrate it." ~Robert Brault

A sweet reminder to me today. I need to practice being mindful of each moment and not let the overwhelming 

confusion of our world to cloud the beauty that is glaringly there everyday. I hope your day is fully of beauty.
